"What?- "

Izuku sounded startled and lost, but Tomoyo didn't have the frame of mind to comprehend that, let alone get affected by it.

" Iid- Tomoyo, what are you talking about? "

"I'm going to finish what my sister started. I just wanted to tell you that. After all, there is no shame in talking with friends is there?"

" Wha- that's not what I- "

"Thank you for listening Izuku, I need to go now, I'm on patrol"

" Wha- wait what do you me- "

She ended the call, shutting her phone off before placing it back in its compartment in her suit.

"-an by 'I'm gonna finish-"

" Call ended. "

He blinked, staring into his HUD, the call disconnected sign flashing before pulling back into the bars that were on the peripherals of his vision.

"Redial"

"D̰id ̬y͈ou͟r ̠fr͜i̺e̦nd j̤us̥t͙ a̤dm̦i̞t ̡t̳o ḩu͈n̟ti͇n̖g̳ t̨he f͢uck̪i͚ng̹ ̳h̲ero kil̠l̳er̹?" Nana piped up as his helmet hummed with the ringing tone.

"Call couldn't connect, they are either out of service, or their phone has been turned off."

Oh goddammit-

"Contact Mei, I need a location on Iida"

" Affirmative, contacting Mother "

He sighed as the phone rung on her side, tapping his foot on the ground.

" She seems to be busy right now, left a message in its stead. "

"Thank you, turn privacy mute off" he huffed turning back to Miruko who looked worried over his constant silence, even saying something that he couldn't hear.

" Privacy mute off. "

"Everything alright? You kinda stopped in your tracks, after- I'm guessing a phone call?"

"Yeah- a classmate called- Ingenium's sister." He mumbled walking up next to her as they started their patrol again.

"Oh- she feeling... probably not." she mumbled, her ears flopping down "That was a terrible thing to happen, really."

Jesus christ Nana-

Eiji sneezed all over her monitor displaying Izuku flexing

"She... took it well for the most part. Or acted like she did." He muttered, scratching his arm, the blunt ends of his armored fingers not doing a good job at it "We didn't even know till the news broke out."

"Oh- that's..." Miruko's ears stood halfway up as if sensing something wrong. "She bottled it up, that's dangerous."

He paused, staring at her silently till he couldn't take it anymore. "...She told me that she was gonna 'finish what her sister started'."

Her ears stood up on end. "Wha- is she trying to get killed?"

"..." He looked away.

She rubbed her hand over her face, pulling it over her head, with a sigh. "Right. Right..." she breathed in slowly. "Do you know where she is?"
